Abstract
In the first two parts of the dissertation the basic characteristics of sugar beet yields were discussed. This part concerns the effect of potassium application on its uptake and its effect on sugar yields. In the group of stands responsive to potassium application the final K uptake ranged from 287 to 319 K/ha and in the non-responsive one from 277 to 295 K/ha. The weather conditions, mainly precipitation, were the main factor affecting K uptake. In 1998, i.e. in the year with soil drought, the increase of K rates negatively influenced potassium uptake by crops cultivated in non-responsive sites. In addition, sugar beet yields in this specific year were highly and positively related to the amount of potassium off-take, but at the same time, negatively related to the specific uptake.
